Recently, I've downloaded MEd v0.32 onto my Microsoft Windows Vista  based computer. Unfortunately, it refuses to show ANY textures (I've tried to let them show up in the "View" menu, without ANY result). This is quite strange, especially since my computer is one of the latest systems available. Specs.:

Gforce

i had the exact same problem when i installed Vista on my newly built PC.

i have 2 x Nvidia 7600GT pci-e gfx cards in sli configuration.

i tried updating the Nvidia drivers to the latest and it ran fine but San Andreas then refused to run.

eventually after 3 weeks of updating Vista and all drivers (with no success) i found the solution.

the Nvidia drivers get unpacked to a folder before they're installed by the Nvidia setup, so with this in mind i did a little experiment.

here's how i fixed the problem.

first i installed all the drivers using the Nvidia app then i did a system restore to the original Vista driver setup before the Nvidia drivers were installed.

then i did a rmb over the desktop and went to personalise, then display settings then advanced settings, adapter tab and properties.

then into the driver tab\update driver\ browse my computer for driver software then browse to C:\NVIDIA\WinVista, hit next and then Vista locates the newer drivers and updates them, after a restart MEd works and SA runs fine.

i now have all the SLI settings running fine too.

good luck, if you're using an ATI card i have no idea how to help you but this method may still work for you.

on a side note to the gtaforums staff, you're going to get a lot of Vista based problems soon, it may be time to start a Vista FAQ topic somewhere and start adding the discovered info
